Functionalities: Advanced Surveillance and Universal Hub

The G5 Pro (PoE) stands out for its deep integration into the smart home ecosystem and its sophisticated, on-device AI for enhanced security.

• Ultimate Smart Home Connectivity: The device serves as a pivotal cornerstone of your connected home, functioning as a Matter Controller, Matter Bridge, Thread Border Router, and Zigbee 3.0 Hub. This multi-protocol support ensures seamless compatibility with Aqara’s expansive range of sensors and accessories, as well as a wide array of third-party Matter and Thread devices, all while strengthening your mesh network coverage.

Its groundbreaking $f/1.0$ aperture lens, combined with a dedicated 3W LED spotlight, allows for True Color Night Vision. This technology delivers bright, full-color images in near darkness, eliminating the common black-and-white graininess found in standard night mode.

• On-Device AI for Smarter Alerts: Equipped with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), the G5 Pro processes AI detections locally, ensuring faster alerts and continued functionality even during internet outages. It provides intelligent recognition for:

  • People and Faces (for personalized automations).

  • Vehicles and Packages.

  • Animals.

  • Sound Detection (e.g., alarms, baby crying).

• Flexible Storage and Privacy: The camera features encrypted, built-in eMMC storage (available in $8\text{ GB}$ or $32\text{ GB}$ versions) for secure local video recording. For expanded capacity, it supports NAS (Network-Attached Storage) integration and RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol), offering full control over your footage without mandatory subscription fees. It also supports HomeKit Secure Video (HKSV) for Apple users.

• Deterrence and Communication: Enhance security with a loud, built-in $100\text{ dB}$ siren to deter intruders. Two-way audio with a high-sensitivity microphone allows for clear communication with visitors or the ability to warn off unwanted guests. Privacy Masking can be configured for up to three zones to protect sensitive areas from recording.
